qEEG Brain Mapping

See what traditional evaluations can't see

qEEG Brain Mapping measures the brain's electrical activity and transforms it into a visual map, helping identify patterns that may contribute to challenges with focus, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, autism, PTSD, concussion recovery, and more.

What is qEEG?

A safe, non-invasive window into how the brain is actually working.

Five simple steps, from cap to clarity.

  1. Step 1

    Wear a 19-channel cap

    A soft, comfortable sensor cap is placed on the scalp — no needles, no radiation.

  2. Step 2

    Record brain activity

    20–30 minutes of eyes-open and eyes-closed recording captures live brainwave patterns.

  3. Step 3

    Compare to normative databases

    Your recording is compared to age-matched norms by our clinical team.

  4. Step 4

    Generate a visual brain map

    Color-coded heat maps reveal which networks are over-active, under-active, or out of sync.

  5. Step 5

    Guide treatment decisions

    Findings inform a personalized treatment strategy — not a generic protocol.

What a brain map looks like

From electrical signals to a visual story of the brain.

qEEG reports include several views — each one tells a different part of the story.

What brain mapping may reveal

Patterns that explain what symptoms alone can't.

Attention Networks

Frontal-network rhythms tied to focus, organization, and impulse control.

Emotional Regulation

Prefrontal-limbic balance involved in mood and self-control.

Anxiety Patterns

High-beta activity associated with worry and hyperarousal.

Depression Patterns

Frontal asymmetry patterns linked to low mood and motivation.

Sleep-Related Patterns

Rhythms involved in falling asleep, staying asleep, and restoration.

Trauma-Related Patterns

Dysregulation tied to hypervigilance and flashbacks.

Post-Concussion Patterns

Slowing and connectivity changes left behind by TBI.

Autism-Related Patterns

Connectivity and sensory-processing differences across regions.

Why Reign-Bow uses brain mapping

Treatment shouldn't be guesswork.

qEEG turns assumptions into a visual baseline — and recovery into something you can actually see.

Traditional Approach

Symptom-based, generic protocols

  • Symptom checklists alone
  • Trial-and-error medication adjustments
  • Generic, one-size protocols
  • Subjective progress only
  • No objective baseline
Brain Mapping Guided

Personalized, data-informed care

  • Objective look at brain function
  • Personalized to your specific patterns
  • Targeted treatment planning
  • Measurable, visual progress
  • Repeat mapping confirms change

Frequently asked

Answers about qEEG brain mapping

Frequently asked questions

How long does brain mapping take?

Plan on about an hour at the office. The actual recording is 20–30 minutes (eyes open and eyes closed), plus a short setup. We schedule extra time for younger or anxious children so the experience feels calm and unhurried.

Is it painful?

Not at all. The qEEG is completely passive — nothing is sent into the brain. We use a soft, water-conducting cap that simply listens to the electrical activity already present. There are no needles, no radiation, no medication, and no discomfort.

Does insurance cover it?

Many BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Cigna plans reimburse qEEG when clinically indicated. Coverage depends on the diagnosis code and the plan. Our team verifies benefits and returns a written summary within one business day.

What age groups can complete qEEG?

Children, adolescents, and adults can all complete qEEG. We commonly map children as young as 4 and have experience working with patients across the lifespan.

How is it different from a standard EEG?

A clinical EEG is read visually, primarily to screen for seizure activity. A qEEG is quantitatively analyzed and compared to age-matched normative databases to identify subtle patterns associated with focus, mood, sleep, and other regulation challenges.

How does it help guide treatment?

Brain mapping identifies the specific patterns driving symptoms — so treatment planning targets the actual dysregulation rather than relying on a generic, one-size-fits-all protocol.
